W" MIR Henry e. Fries Of Salem, is a
young man in years, but old in the best
.ort of common sense. He is one of the
Trustees of the proposed Mechanical and
Agricultural College, to be opened in
Raleigh, and we call attention to his letter
in regard to the matter, which really
shows how impracticable the scheme is.
The fact is, we have not got the money to
invest in the gigantic concern at a time
when people are barely able to pay their
taxes. Gov. Scales was exactly right in
opposing the undertaking until there was
enough money in hand, OF secured, to as
sure success on creditable plan.
The Lord knows we are in favor of any
thing and everything that will truly pro-
mote the Mechanic Arts and the Agricu)-
tural interests, IN a practical soay, but We
warn all our people against expensive
visionary schemes.

TIME TO SToP.-It is pleasant to know
that the Supreme Court OF North Caro-
lima is putting it's foot down on the pro-
miscuous issuing of Bonds by counties
and towns and cities in this State, for
various purposes. A lew weeks ago, we
uttered some words OF warning on the
subject, and suggested that the people
had better be more careful before they
authorized the issuing OF Bonds
A late decision Of the Supreme Court ia
decidedly against the recent issue of
Bonds by Cleveland and Rutherford coun-
ties to the Railroad company known by
the big name of the Charleston, Gin
ciunati & Chicago Railroad The Court
says that Judge Avery and Judge Nc
Rae both erred in not granting injuuo-
tions against the hasty issue of county
Bonds by the counties named. We copy,
elsewhere, such information on the sub
ject as we have received. In the mean
time, people had better beware how they
purchase the new county Bonds issued,
or to be issued, by dozen or two of coun-
ties in this part OF the State. The N. G.
Supreme Court intimates that they are
all illegal.
If the people of county are unwilling
to pay Bonded debt, it is a very hard
matter to make them do so. The Carteret
county Bonded debt has never yet been
paid, notwithstan ding all the decisions of
U. S. Courts against the county and in
favor of the Bonds issued to the A. &
N. G. Railroad. The difficulty is, the
people (tax- payers) did not think the debt
an honest one. If the debt is an honest
one the people of N orth Carolina will pay
it; if not honestly made, they will not pay.
9B Every now aud then a subscriber
stops his Landmark on account Of some
grievance, real or fancled. We can stand
a good deal of this, since new subscribers
are occasionally stumbling in to take the
places Of those who quit. But in almost
every case we hear afterwards from neigh
bors of the aggrieved ones that they (the
aggrieved) borrow the paper regularly,
week after week, from them or other
neighbors. We respectfully submit that
this is not honest. 1t is fraud upon the
publisher and an imposition upon the
neighbor. If man does not like a paper
it is his right to stop it, but he ought to
make it matter of principle and refuse
to read it. II he reads it he ought to pay
for it, and if he does not pay for it he is
making dishonest use of one mans brains
and another mans property. StatesoiNe

.B@ The surplus in the Treasury at
Washington City seems to be increasing.
The government is growing richer and the
people poorer. What do we send Repre-
sentstives to Congress for but to grapple
with such questions as fixing taxation
upon basis to meet the wants of the gov
ernment economically administered? How
to spend the surplus seems to overshadow
the more important one to the people
how 70 stop it.-Neaobera Journal
Let the miserable, unfair and unjust In-
ternal Revenue tax be repealed, and that
will Tighten the Treasury receipts. 1t is
shame to any enlightened people, to
oppress the poor mountaineers of Western
North Carolina with the tax now imposed
on them by rich Government. We re-
peat, it is shame to enforce an onerous
tax on the poor people Of the land, and
enforce it's collection by beggaring the
poor women and children of the State.
People abroad, without some personal OBJ
serVation, have no idea how oppressive
the Internal Revenue tax is in some of our
Western counties, and how much destitu,
ton its enforcement makes among the
poor classes. No man need talk about
securing an election to Office in this part
of the State who favors the Internal
Revenue Iaw-not even President Cleve
land.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, !
Washington, May 14th. 1887.
Mr.. Richard NJ TTddy, Secy. etc:
My Dear Sir Il have had before me since its
receipt, your letter communicating the resolu-
tions of the Chamber of Commerce inviting me
to join with the citizens of Charlotte in cele-
brating the anniversary of the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence.
Among the many significant incidents which
preceded the formation of the present govern
ment, few were more important or conspicuous
than the bold and resolute stand taken by the
people of Mecklenburg county. In the midst of
uncertainties and wavering opinions, their cour-
age and convictions led them to take step which
attests their strength of character and sincerity
of purpose.
The annive: :sary of their Declaration of Inde-
pendence will, trust, be always celebrated; and
l should be most happy to be able to join in per-
son, as do in sentiment, those who propose to
properly observe the occasion on the Goth inst
regret, however, that my official duties deny
me this privilege, and beg to express my thanks
for the compliment Of the invitation.
Very Truly Yours,
GR0vER CTEVETANO

during the winter who viii take the trouble to
rake up little dry sand and cover over the Pota-
toes under the house or in a pen. On small
